Re: Free agents re-signing with previous team

What exactly are the MLB rules regarding a player signing back on with the team they had played with the previous season after that player left the team for free agency at season's end? I thought it was simply that such players may not negotiate with the former team until May 1 of the next season. Is that all there is to it? Whatever the case, does anyone know why it is so?
They would need to stop the negotiation only if arbitration is not offered.
