"We might go drop Morneau off somewhere," Leyland joked.
Leyland had the flight arranged by Ilitch before the All-Star roster was announced.
Guillen and the Twins players were added to the flight, after Leyland talked to Ilitch and Twins manager Rod Gardenhire .
"I just asked (Gardenhire and Ilitch) if (the Twins players) could ride along," Leyland said.
