It was a magical run for the Tribe in 2013. But again they couldn't reach the World Series, or even the ALDS. They are still trying to recover from the 4-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2013 Wild Card Game. Terry Francona met with new Cleveland Indians GM, Matthew Stevenson.

Matthew: Tito, you and the team did a fantastic job last season, but this is a new offseason. We need to discuss our plans for 2014.
Terry: Thank you Matthew. The pitching staff is a bit underwhelming this season. I think we need to bring in a free agent pitcher to add to a starting rotation, and another to fill the bullpen.
Matthew: I agree 100 percent. What pitchers do you have your eye on?
Terry: Well, Ervin Santana is a free agent currently. I think he would be a great fit. Also, veteran Octavio Dotel would be a great option in our bullpen.
Matthew: Thanks Tito! I will definitely sign these guys!

Man, you struggled offensively for a few games there.

My only issue is that it's hard to keep track of the score the way you write it. I suggest always putting your score first, then the other team's second. Now you're flipping it back and forth and it's hard to tell what's going on. Just a minor thing, but still

So if I put it like Indians lead 2-0 it would be fine?

Yeah, I suppose it'd be the same. Just something like that to help tell the score in the middle of the game
