Twins veteran Pablo Lopez: Culture ‘rebuild’ has been a success
Pablo Lopez said the Minnesota Twins have successfully rebuilt their clubhouse culture after the 2022 trade deadline, focusing on playing hard and expecting to win every night.
Lopez has been recovering from Tommy John surgery since February but has remained actively involved with the team to support the culture reset under new manager Derek Shelton, who sets clear expectations.
The Twins traded 11 players last summer, including key leaders and top relievers, to build around young talent and new acquisitions like Taylor Rogers and Josh Bell.
The team has established a culture emphasizing hard work, consistency, and process, which Lopez credits for preventing negativity and keeping the Twins close to the division leaders and wild-card positions despite losses.
