Separation of Concerns dictates returning a string and parsing the JSON separately. The below snippet can be used with no dependency on JSON.net which can be be used separately or a different Json Deserializer can be used (e.g. the one built into RestSharp) and does not require the SqlJSONReader class.

try {
     using (var conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
     using (var cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn)) {
        await conn.OpenAsync();
        logger.LogInformation("SQL:" + sql);
        var rdr = await cmd.ExecuteReaderAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
        var result = "";
        var moreRows = rdr.HasRows;
        while (moreRows) {
            moreRows = await rdr.ReadAsync();
            if (moreRows) result += rdr.GetString(0);
        }
        return result;
     }
  }
  catch (Exception ex) {
     //logger.LogError($"Error accessing Db:{ex}");
     return null;
  }
