They could also have a rating based on their degree of interference. Some owners might trust their baseball people to make all the moves, while others could try and force their GM to trade for or sign certain players, or block trades that had already been put together (Peter Angelos says hi). Some owners might also be more likely to fire managers and GMS more quickly, while others would be loyal and stick with you for awhile.

You could even have some owners who would mouth off to the media about the team's performance (let's call this hypothetical owner 'Hank').


This is precisely what I've suggested. It would be more realistic/immersive than simply saying "the owner" wants this or that.
