While I agree about the owners who think they know more about baseball than they actually do and getting a little bit too involved in roster construction, I'd still be willing to bet that specific of a request very rarely comes across IRL.
I'm sure improving team defense or even a specific positions defense gets talked about all the time, but to say "get me a gold glover, I don't care who. Heck, he coulda won the GG 8 years ago. Just get me any former gold glover and I'll be happy" just seems obnoxious to me for even the most wacky owners..... I dunno, maybe I'm wrong.
