Major League Baseball teams will be allowed to have patch sponsors for the first time beginning with the 2023 season and some teams have already cashed in on the deal.
The New York Yankees, with the clean pinstripes and gray uniforms that even last names don’t touch the back of, are reportedly in search of a patch sponsor too. One adult website sent out their offer that could be too hot to handle.

Stripchat, the adult entertainment company known for several matured-themed PR stunts, gave the Yankees a $20 million offer to become their exclusive patch sponsor for the 2023 season.
"We want to expand the visibility of Stripchat across the globe and we know the patch will be one of the most visible assets for one of the most popular clubs in sports," Stripchat Vice President Max Bennett said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. "What better way than to stick our logo on the sleeves of Yankees players? It makes too much sense for the Yankees to work together with the leading adult live cam site. Let’s turn pinstripes into pin-strips!"
The Yankees didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
