Going off the dictionary definition of the word deserve, I think there's a legit 3 players you could say are deserving. Ronald, Mookie, and Freddie.
Fangraphs in its explanation of WAR says that it should be used to seperate groups and not to be used as a precise number. The numbers they use in the example are actually close to the current numbers, saying that a 6.4 fWAR and a 6.1 fWAR cannot be distinguished from each other over the course of a season.
That said, the 3 I mentioned are in a class above the rest, all at 6+. Lindor is 4th at 5.3. Matt Olson if he could get that average above .280 I think could start pushing his way into the conversation. There's a lot of season left for things to shake out.
