Another year, another year without a title — or a World Series appearance.

While the Yankees were the hottest team in baseball for much of the first half, won 99 regular-season games and their first division title since 2019, they once again came up short against the Astros in the ALCS, and still haven’t reached the World Series since 2009.

Now that the offseason is upon us, here’s a look at what the Yankees need to do before the 2023 season opens — hopefully with the first normal MLB season since 2019, with the pandemic and lockout impacting each of the last three seasons.

Brian Cashman has served as the general manager in The Bronx since 1998, an incredible run for any executive, but especially with the Yankees.

His contract is up, but there have been no indications he wants to leave or that managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner wants to make a change in leadership.

Whether any of that is altered by the ugly end to the season in the ALCS or that fact that they are clearly inferior to the Astros — with the gap widening by the year — remains to be seen.

The ending came after a season in which the Yankees bounced back from a 2021 campaign that by Cashman’s own admission was ugly, by getting off to a historic start.

For much of the first half, following the acquisitions of Josh Donaldson and Isiah Kiner-Falefa from Minnesota and Jose Trevino from Texas, as well as good health and bounce-back years from Gleyber Torres and others, the Yankees looked poised to make a run at a title.

But they were hit with injuries as the season progressed and faltered in August.

Cashman had very mixed results at the trade deadline, moving significant — although not elite — minor league pieces to trade for Andrew Benintendi, Frankie Montas, Lou Trivino, Scott Effross and Harrison Bader.

Benintendi and Effross got hurt, Montas pitched poorly and then injured his shoulder again, while Trivino was effective out of the bullpen and Bader — after recovering from plantar fasciitis — was the Yankees’ most dangerous hitter in October and played well in center field, but made some key miscues.

In the end, the team exceeded many people’s expectations in the regular season, although part of that was thanks to Aaron Judge’s historic season.

As long as Cashman stays, Aaron Boone — who signed a new deal last offseason — is expected to be safe.

But the manager drew criticism during both rounds of the playoffs, with questionable pitching moves.

An inability to figure out how to beat Houston may also fall on Boone.

Once Cashman’s status is finalized, either he or his replacement will be charged with what will likely be the biggest story of the MLB offseason: the future of Aaron Judge.

Judge turned down the Yankees’ extension offer of seven years and $213.5 million on Opening Day and has a chance to hit free agency for the first time in his career.

Judge’s bet on himself is set to pay off, perhaps in record fashion, as he went out and had one of the best offensive performances in recent history, setting the American League and franchise record with 62 homers and almost single-handedly keeping the Yankees in first place during their August struggles.

Now, he’s set to cash in. Who, besides the Yankees, will be willing to break the bank?

The Yankees traded for Isiah Kiner-Falefa — along with Josh Donaldson — during spring training, in an effort to solve their issues at shortstop while they waited for the arrival of either one of their prospects at the position — Oswald Peraza or Anthony Volpe.

Kiner-Falefa was wildly inconsistent at short and though the Yankees and Boone defended him, he was benched in the playoffs.

It’s fair to question what role Kiner-Falefa has going forward with the Yankees, with Cabrera and Peraza showing they can handle the position and Volpe having finished the season well at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Gerrit Cole, Nestor Cortes and Frankie Montas figure to be locks for the rotation and Luis Severino has a $15 million team option that seems likely to be picked up. Jameson Taillon is a free agent, leaving the Yankees with Domingo German and Clarke Schmidt as possibilities for the back end of the rotation, but the team will want more depth there.

What was once a strength of the team took some serious hits, as Chad Green and Michael King went down with elbow injuries, as did trade-deadline acquisition Scott Effross. Green is a free agent and Effross will miss next season after Tommy John surgery, but King believes he will be healthy by spring training. Zack Britton and Aroldis Chapman are free agents and Britton and the Yankees may consider another short-term, less-expensive deal. Although Clay Holmes had first-half success, the Yankees never had an established, effective closer this past season and will have to decide whether to enter that market.

Anthony Rizzo has a $16 million player option. He hit 32 homers in his first full season in The Bronx, but battled persistent back issues in the second half.

Donaldson was a disappointment at the plate following the trade that brought him from Minnesota and is owed $25 million next season. Aaron Hicks spent much of the second half on the bench, losing playing time to Andrew Benintendi, Harrison Bader and Cabrera. He still has three years and $30 million remaining on his deal. The Yankees could look to move either one of those bad contracts, but would have to attach a prospect — at least — to a deal.

Benintendi is also a free agent and Gleyber Torres will likely get nearly $10 million in arbitration, so there’s no guarantee they are back. Matt Carpenter was fantastic from the left side after his acquisition in May and the offense took a hit when he was lost due to a fractured left foot. He’s also a free agent.
