LAS VEGAS — What the now-completed general managers meetings amplified is that the Yankees could lose Aaron Judge.

Not that they will lose him. But they could. They remain the favorite to keep their star. But it was not difficult to find executives and agents who believe he will land elsewhere. Which works nicely for him, even if Judge’s goal is to stay. An edgy Hal Steinbrenner is a Hal Steinbrenner likely to increase his bid.

Let’s use 3Up to delve into two items that should help Judge in the market and finish with one item on what really matters:

1. A real competitor. I know there has been talk that the Dodgers might Dodger, which is to say: Enter the fray if they sense a star is not finding a desired market and offer something shorter in years but for a high annual salary. Think back to what they offered Bryce Harper before the Phillies landed the slugger, or to Trevor Bauer, whom they did land (to their later chagrin). Judge will not have a depressed market. There is probably no sidedoor in.
