The New York Yankees held a players-only meeting following Tuesday's loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, NJ.com's Randy Miller reported Wednesday morning.

Per Miller, the club's four former MVP winners – Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger – sat together in a back room at Yankee Stadium sharing their frustrations amid their active five-game losing streak. New York has gone three straight games without scoring a single run, marking a new low point in manager Aaron Boone's tenure in the Bronx.

Jasson Dominguez, Austin Wells and Ben Rice were also present at the meeting, according to Miller.

The Yankees are still leading the AL East by 2.5 games with their 42-30 record, on top of boasting an AL-best plus-98 run differential, but their 3-7 record over their last 10 games is only being outdone by the Washington Nationals. Dropping five of six against their fierce rival Boston Red Sox, plus two games at home against the Angels, is hardly a promising sign of things to come for the so-called Bombers.

While Judge leads all of MLB with a .372 batting average, 1.209 OPS and 5.4 WAR, he is 2-for-24 with 15 strikeouts over the past week. And although Stanton is 4-for-8 against the Angels so far this series, he didn't make his season debut until Monday night.

It remains to be seen if New York's veterans made any progress in their meeting, or if the results will show in the immediate future. First pitch between the Yankees and Angels on Wednesday is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET.
