I think we need to tank right? 

at this point the best way to salvage this season is to get the number one overall. 

Can’t guarantee number 1 pick anymore. Its a lottery

True, but I think we need to finish in the top 6 somewhere to not get pushed down 10 spots again. 

I think that’s true? Can anyone confirm that?

At least get into the top 6 for a protected pick.

From all I've heard yes that is the case. Shi Davidi and Arden Zwelling mentioned it in their recent podcast.

Yup, unless Atkins trades a lot of players at the deadline to get under the tax thresholds, and that's not happening. So have to hope for a top 6 pick.

I'm sure the Jays will get a great pick given our history of things always working out nicely.
