Description
Issue
The most recent harvest transaction for the Saddle D4 jar presents a couple problems. https://etherscan.io/tx/0x4a3f79b7a711add58dfdb641e784ea733207e79011f2cf37718bf6c98883e485. A summary of the swap is below

Each of the reward tokens are sold in the following manner:
_swapUniswap(fxs, frax, _fxs);which trades with thepathFXS -> WETH -> FRAX
Step 1: reward token to ETH
- each of the FXS, TRIBE, LQTY and ALCX rewards are swapped to ETH on Uni v2 (with the exception of ALCX on Sushi).
- With the exception of LQTY, these swap routes are pretty optimal
- A total of 5.92 ETH was gained -> $21k USD at current prices
Step 2: ETH to Stablecoin
- The problem is starts here, where buying the D4-constituent stablecoins with ETH mostly involve illiquid pairs
| Path | Liquidity | Improvement |
| ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| WETH -> FRAX | $1.5M | Direct FXS->FRAX ($43M) |
So... after all this, the issue doesn't seem to be as bad as I thought, and it's really only some weird MEV shennanigans that was going on with the WETH-FXS route.

Conclusion
A very simple fix is swapping with the exact FXS -> FRAX path to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future
