That said, pretty clear there is no intention to sign him, so why didn’t we move him? Seems like a waste of a year and 25M.

If they move Donaldson then there is NO chance at a wild card berth this season, and it signals to a fickle fan base that they aren't even trying to win. Attendance plummets.
It's just the way it is. This management group and ownership group isn't going to do a complete tear down when there is still a chance at winning, even if it's just slight. Personally, I'm OK with that as long as they aren't trading key pieces of the future to add to a roster that is barely on the bubble. Instead what they've done is add cheap, attainable depth at almost all positions without long term and/or big money commitments.
